Ahhhhh! Who remembers eating the beloved chicken tenders as a child? Whether they were frozen or from a fast food restaurant - these babies would have a high calorie count, mostly coming from the fat content. Luckily, I have re-made your childhood favorite that won't harm your waistline! I even paired it with a homemade honey mustard sauce, so you won't get the extra preservatives.
Ingredients:
- Chicken Breast (or pre-cut Chicken Tenders)
- 1/4 cup Bread Crumbs
- 1 Egg White
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 2 tsp Dijon Mustard
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line baking pan with foil, spray with non-stick spray.
- Cut chicken breast into thin strips if you are using a chicken breast.
- Pour egg whites and bread crumbs into separate containers.
- Dredge chicken in egg whites, then into the bread crumbs. Place onto baking pan. Continue until you have all chicken tenders dredged.
- Place into oven for roughly 20-25 minutes, flipping half way.
- While chicken cooks, you can mix your honey mustard dipping sauce. Mix both honey and mustard together until it mixes. Before using, mix again.
- Enjoy!
